Neewer Rotatable Collar Mount Plate for Nikon Z Series - Fast

Our review of the Neewer CA058 rotatable collar mount plate finds it useful for Nikon Z8, Z7 II, Z6 II and Z5 users who need a fast, stable way to switch between landscape and portrait orientations. The single biggest reason to buy is its quick 90 degree rotation and Arca-compatible quick release base that streamlines switching without recentering the lens optical axis, which is especially helpful when shooting with heavier lenses or on a gimbal. It balances convenience with a sturdy CNC aluminum build while leaving full access to the camera's LCD and ports.

Key Features

• Rotatable 90 degree collar: Enables fast horizontal to vertical switching without shifting the lens optical axis, saving setup time for portrait and landscape compositions.
• Enhanced balance for heavy lenses: Improves system balance when using telephoto or heavier lenses by moving the support point to the lens collar.
• Arca and DJI RS compatibility: Built in quick release base works with Arca Swiss style plates and DJI RS gimbals for easy mounting and removal.
• Secure locking and anti twist screw: Uses an anti twist 1/4 in screw and cross patterned rubber pads to hold the lens collar firmly and reduce slipping.
• CNC anodized aluminum construction: Slim, durable, and rust resistant build that still allows full access to the camera LCD, ports and controls while mounted.
• Multiple rigging threads: Four 1/4 in and one 3/8 in threads on the bottom expand mounting options for arms, handles and other accessories.

Who It's For

The CA058 is aimed at photographers and hybrid shooters using Nikon Z8, Z7 II, Z6 II or Z5 with FTZ II adapter and lenses that accept a lens collar under 70mm diameter. It is particularly well suited to portrait, event and wildlife photographers who need to change orientation quickly while maintaining balance on a tripod or gimbal.

Those who should look elsewhere include shooters using lenses not listed as compatible (for example lenses with larger 70-200mm class collars) or photographers who require integrated tripod collars tailored to their specific lens model; the plate does not fit every lens and compatibility should be checked before purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quick 90 degree rotation makes switching orientations efficient and repeatable.
• Sturdy CNC aluminum construction gives a durable, slim profile while keeping access to the camera screen.
• Arca quick release and multiple threaded mounts provide broad rig compatibility with tripods and gimbals.

Cons

• Not compatible with larger lens collars such as many 70-200mm f2.8 lenses, so check fit before buying.
• Some users report mixed impressions of build quality and stability depending on lens combination and setup.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The Neewer CA058 rotatable collar mount is a practical, cost effective solution for Nikon Z shooters who want fast, reliable horizontal to vertical switching and improved balance with midrange and many telephoto lenses. It offers strong value through Arca compatibility and a slim CNC aluminum design, but confirm collar diameter compatibility for larger pro telephoto lenses before buying.
